Most
Improved & Novice Quartet Awards
In
addition to possibly placing first through fifth at Regional
Competition, the Region and the Gold Country recognizes
its regional quartets with two
awards: the Novice Quartet award (this comes from the Region)
and the Most Improved Quartet award (this comes from Gold
Country).
To
be eligible to win any regional award based on performance,
a contestant must receive a total score of 400 points or
above, except for any regional Most Improved Awards. Most
Improved Awards are not subject to achieving minimum scores.
Most
Improved Quartet Award. To be eligible, a quartet
must have competed in the previous year, still be registered
under the name used
the previous year, and have the largest increase in score
over the previous year's score. This award is given by the
Gold Country -- the Region's past
regional quartet champions who are dedicated to promoting
and encouraging quartetting. Winning this award provides
the privilege of performing on the Show of Champions.
A Novice Quartet Award will be presented
to the quartet that entered the Regional Quartet Competition
for the first time and received the highest total score
among eligible quartets. To be eligible, no more than two
(2) members may have competed in a previous Regional or
International Quartet Competition. The winner of this award
is announced at the Show of Champions.
